Five Guys thread, a 130+ page swordfight. (1 Viewer)

FBG1: The pizza in Italy is really tasty. Better than any place here in the states.

FBG2: I've never been to Italy, never been on a place actually, but the pizza here is way better than Italy. Pizza in Italy is too small whereas you can split the pizza here. Free olives at my pizzeria to boot.

FBG1: The pizza in New York is the best in the world.

FBG2: The pizza in Chicago is more filling, tastier, and I like it much, much more.

FBG1: It's way more expensive.

FBG2: Yes, but that's how I like it and I'm willing to pay for something I actually like.

FBG1: You are worse than Hitler.

 
I went to the In-N-Out brothel, and I got a very satisfactory handy from an ugly woman with only a two hour wait. I don't understand why people go to the Five Guys brothel for a substantially better looking woman who will do anything you want. Seems like a waste of the extra $6.

For burgers, animal style means extra mustard, pickles, onions, and spread -- all of which are free on burgers. (Animal style assumes that we're starting with a cheeseburger rather than a hamburger.)

For fries, it means onions, spread, and cheese. They definitely charge extra for the cheese. (I'm not sure if they charge more for animal style fries than they do for cheese fries. But either way, they charge more to add cheese to fries than they do to add cheese to a burger.)

After reading more of this thread, I'm now more convinced than ever to support the local burger chains and stay away from either 5G or I&O. Because apparently eating at either on a regular basis turns you in to a ####.

I had trouble understanding this one.

As I think I've said a few times already, I like the burgers at both places. FG is a bit more expensive but not outrageously so. They also make much better fries, even though they give you way more than you need most of the time.

I agree with GM that it would be nice if they served beer, as I think probably all restaurants should do so but that's not a great reason to hate on a burger chain.

the problem is that In N Out is only available in a rather limited area while FG has expanded and is apparently nationwide. Not sure why everybody in California hates FG so much when you have places like In N Out, Jack in the Box, Fatburger, Carls Jr, or whatever other awesome chains exist out there. Most of the country doesn't have those options. So, in terms of chains when I'm on the road or something, the options are usually McDs, BK, Wendys, and now FG has started to pop up. I'd choose that or a Chipotle over the same old stale burger chains that have been around for decades and haven't really changed a thing.

it's no secret that some people don't like the INnOut fries. Some do though and it's because they keep it simple and let the ingredient speak for itself without processing. They don't bathe them is salt either. Some people want more salt or a different kind of frying oil. That's OK. You can bump all the old posts you want but somebody's personal opinion that something sucks doesn't make it true.

We split one salt packet on two orders of fries.

FBG1: FG makes a pretty good burger.

FBG2: But it's a ripoff compared to In N Out! And WTF is with the free peanuts and yelling?
Click to expand...
It is a pretty good burger AND it's a ripoff compared to In-N-Out and many other places in your local community.

Don't care about peanuts or yelling.

Agree. I much prefer the local joints to either 5G or I&O. But if I'm going to lunch with guys from work and the choices are 5G or I&O, I choose I&O every time. Sometimes I lose and am forced to go to 5G.

But to me, the food is better at I&O. The portions are perfect for lunch. And I get the added benefit that I&O is roughly half the cost.

But there are about 10 or so local places that are better than both 5G and I&O.

 
I live in a city with thousands of good food options. I don't eat chain food in my local community very often unless it's for lunch near my office and there are no FG nearby. If there was, I'd probably eat there once in awhile but I'm not going too far out of my way for one.

I think it's good but there are usually lots of good burger options wherever you go. I have one a couple blocks away from my house that I'd rather eat at (their fries are terrible too though).

We do have a Five Guys and the wife and I ate their once. It wasn't memorable. I think the food was good enough but I do remember thinking it was pricey for what we got. We haven't gone back, so I guess we weren't that wowed. No I&O here that I know of. We have Chester's and Babe's, which I think are both local only. Those tend to be our go-to's on the rare burger occasions.

I don't get animal style anymore cuz there's enough flavor, fat and calories in a double-double. Do they charge extra now for burger and fries animal style?
Click to expand...
I get animal style but hold the sauce because I agree with you. No charge for animal anything.
Click to expand...
no charge still accurate? I know when I've ordered it, I was charged and it seemed excessive to me at the time but I don't recall the details.
Click to expand...
No extra charge for the double double animal style. Only ordered fries animal style once , didn't like them, and I don't remember how much they cost.

Nobody "hates" anything out here. We were just told that "the best" burger place was expanding and coming out here. When it got here we mostly agreed that it wasn't "the best" and we took heat for it about a million different ways. We didn't start the fire.

FBG1: Five Guys is expanding and it's the best!

FBG2: Cool.

FBG1: It's the best!

FBG2: OK, we just had it and think it's good but not the best. It's a little pricy too.

FBG1: You're a brainwashed, cheap ******* who knows nothing about good fries.

FBG2: OK.

FBG1: And we can share at our place. Free peanuts also.

FBG2: I don't get the peanuts shtick.

FBG1: Shut up!

FBG2: Damn. Sorry. Maybe you'd like our place if you got animal style fries?

FBG1: They jack up the price for a little cheese to cover up the crappy taste!

FBG2: I don't get them that way, just making a suggestion.

FBG1: I go to my place and get a LITTLE burger, ONE ORDER of fries, ONE CUP of WATER, split EVERYTHING with my lady (we're not all bachelor BROS dude) and it's not AT ALL pricy. And nobody yells and WHAT is wrong with free peanuts? I am ANNOYED.

FBG2: OK, man. Cool. ( :unsure: )

All fries need to be eaten piping hot once they absorb a little moisture it's all downhill. The trick to In-N-Out fries is to order them well done. That guarantees you get them fresh out of the oil. No sitting around.

For me, the trick is animal style. I can't tell you what I have against In-N-Out fries.... I just don't like them much by themselves.
Click to expand...
Animal style, well done.

wait. you just said somewhere else that you don't like the fries animal style. now I'm confused.

I don't, it was tongue in cheek.

You're trying very hard to push something that isn't very common at In-N-Out.

Nipsey hitting it out of the park in this thread. Haters should just take their tails between their legs and exit the thread respectfully. No reason this needs to go on for another 10 pages.

So I'm trying to think of a local burger place around Baltimore. Obviously, there are lots of bars that sell burgers, but not really one that sticks out as a burger joint. We have plenty of Mexican, crab houses, pit beef stands, etc. but no real burger places.

If I was visiting, I'm pretty sure I could find one with a little research. I travel a lot, and have never had a problem finding a great mom and pop place for whatever food I felt like eating. Yelp works more than half the time. The rest of the time just take a little more googling.

Why eat at Five Guys when you could go to Shake Shack?

I like them pretty equally and between March - October the typical wait at Shake Shack is about 45-60 minutes from getting in line to getting food.

not pushing it.

#1 I thought there was an upcharge for animal style on the burgers like there was on the fries. seems like I was wrong there (but it sounds like they charge $2 to melt some cheese on the fries?)

#2 I have seen quite a few examples in here of people suggesting or recommending animal style fries. I didn't make it up. I thought it was more popular, but it seems like I might have been overstating things a bit there.

I'm not pushing one over the other in here. I said very early on that people in California have no reason to eat at FG. I like both places. I'm just here for the laughs mostly and there have been a ton in this thread. I don't know why both places can't be good.

Yeah, he should stay away from New York if he's picky about food. The lack of good burgers in Manhatten has produced a HUGE market for Five Guys. Likewise the lack of good pizza in New York has produced a HUGE market for Sbarro.

I didn't realize people were saying "its the best" and trying to force you guys to like it.

that's why a thread on Five Guys is filled with people in California saying over and over again that it's not as good as In N Out?

They're decent. Burgers are good for 4 or 5 bucks. Fries are good but way overpriced if you're eating by yourself. It was like 4 bucks for a small. The major drawback is the "experience" they force on you. You walk in the door and they all shout "One at the door!" etc. It's over the top and not worth the hassle factor. I've actually avoided going there because of it.
